It is very common for toddlers to catch a new viral illness shortly after finishing antibiotics, especially with sick contacts at daycare. The recurrent fever and congestion are likely from a new virus. Sometimes, common viruses can cause temporary muscle aches or mild joint inflammation, which might explain her leg pain. To keep her comfortable, you can use generic acetaminophen or ibuprofen. However, because of the new leg pain and her recent bacterial infection, please have her pediatrician evaluate her soon to ensure she is recovering safely.

Can I give my son Meftal P suspension to help lower his 101?F fever and keep it from rising overnight, since I do not have Crocin or Ibugesic?

Yes, you can use Meftal P (mefenamic acid) suspension to help lower his 101?F fever since you do not have Crocin (paracetamol) or Ibugesic (ibuprofen). Mefenamic acid is effective for reducing fever, but the correct dose must be calculated based on his weight. Please check his previous prescriptions or consult a healthcare professional to confirm the right dose. Keep him hydrated and dressed in light clothing. If his fever remains high or he seems unusually unwell, please seek medical care.

Is it safe to keep giving Crocin to my 15-month-old child for a fever of 102.5?F that comes back every 6 to 8 hours, and what is the correct dosage?

Yes, it is generally safe to give Crocin (paracetamol) every 6 to 8 hours (up to 4 times in 24 hours) to help him feel comfortable. However, the correct dosage is based on your child's weight, not just his age. Please check the product label or consult your pediatrician for the exact dose. Keep him well-hydrated and in light clothing. If the fever persists for more than 3 days, or if he becomes very lethargic, irritable, or refuses fluids, please have him evaluated by a doctor.

My son has a high fever of 102.5?F that drops to around 100.2?F after a sponge bath; should I give him Meftal P, or can I continue giving him 3.5 ml of Crocin DS every 6 hours?

It is safest to continue giving him Crocin DS (paracetamol) 3.5 ml every 6 hours, as his fever is responding to the medication and sponge baths. Please avoid giving Meftal P (mefenamic acid) unless specifically prescribed by your pediatrician, as paracetamol is the preferred and safer first-line choice. Keep him well-hydrated and dressed in light clothing. If his fever remains consistently high despite medication, or if he becomes unusually lethargic, please consult your doctor promptly.

What medicines can I give my baby to help reduce a 103?F fever and improve their appetite, since they are not eating much and are currently taking Crocin DS 240mg?

Since Crocin DS contains paracetamol, please do not give any other paracetamol-containing medicines to prevent an accidental overdose. A reduced appetite is completely normal during an illness; please focus on keeping your baby hydrated with breast milk, formula, or water in small, frequent amounts. Do not give any new medicines for appetite without consulting a doctor. Because a fever of 103?F is high, please have your baby evaluated by a pediatrician promptly to ensure they get the right care and recovery plan.

Should my daughter, who is taking Zincovit and Crocin 500 for suspected COVID-19 after 10 days of a low fever, headache, and tiredness, start taking ivermectin, and is it safe for her to end her isolation on day 14?

Please do not start ivermectin, as current medical guidelines do not recommend it for treating COVID-19. It is best to continue with her supportive care, including multivitamins (Zincovit) and paracetamol (Crocin 500) to manage her headache and fever. Regarding isolation, it is generally safe for her to end it on day 14, provided she has been fever-free for at least 24 hours without using fever-reducing medicine and her other symptoms are steadily improving. Keep monitoring her, and ensure she gets plenty of rest and fluids.

What should I do for my nearly 6-year-old daughter who has had a fever for two days that is not responding to Crocin syrup, along with a mild runny nose, while we are away on a week-long trip?

A fever with a mild runny nose is common, but since the Crocin (paracetamol) isn't fully helping, please ensure the dosage is correct for her current weight. Keep her comfortable by dressing her in light clothing, offering plenty of fluids like water or soups, and using lukewarm water wipes to cool her forehead. Since you are traveling and her fever has lasted two days, it is safest to visit a local doctor or clinic to get her properly evaluated and ensure she recovers quickly.
